Remark. This species was formerly identified as Vitalius cristatus (Mello-Leitão, 1923) by Baumgarten (1998) and Schmidt (1998). As the type of Vitalius cristatus, Acanthoscurria cristata Mello-Leitão, 1923 was determined by Bertani (2001) to be a Lasiodora specimen, Schmidt (2004) realized it was an yet undescribed species and published it in the genus Nhandu, as Nhandu chromatus . Herein, it is transferred to Vitalius based on the topology obtained from the cladistic analysis.
